The tribunal secretariat had on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, announced that judgment on the petition filed by Adegboyega Oyetola and the Osun All Progressives Congress against the victory of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party had been slated for Friday, January 27, 2023.
Heavily-armed policemen and Armoured Personnel Carriers were stationed at the Osun Secretariat of the APC, the SWAGA campaign office, the Adegboyega Oyetola campaign office and the Imole House campaign office of Governor Ademola Adeleke. Also, heavily-armed security personnel were stationed at the Osun State High Court, the venue of the tribunal seating.
The road leading from the Service Lameco area to the Osun High Court has been heavily cordoned off, while from Oke-Fia has also been blocked. However, residents in the capital were observed going about their normal routine, with the only cause for concern among commuters being the lingering fuel scarcity.Recall that Adegboyega Oyetola is challenging Ademola Adeleke on two grounds; Adeleke’s educational qualification and the issue of over-voting during the July 16 gubernatorial election.
